[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Welcome, my friends, to the show
Dance and drink [C]if you'd like
or [G]sit back and take notes
[Am]It's a fine night to test what you know
Who you fear, [C]who you love,
and who you [G]cling to [F]for [G]hope[F]
[G]Hope
There's [Am]a strange

[Verse 2]
stifling
smell in the air:
Cigarette [C]smoke, perfume,
and [G]a tinge of despair
[Am]I guess we should all get prepared
Load your guns, [C]take your pills,
[G]and start saying your [F]prayers[G][F]
Say your [G]prayers

[Verse 3]
I prom[C]ised that this wouldn't
happen to [Em]me[G]
[C]I've got scales grown over
[F]my eye[G]s and I can[E]'t see[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
If I falter as this moves along
Don't stop [C]me to ask if
[G]there's anything wrong
[Am]Your best bet is to just move along
Throw my [C]bones in the river
and write [G]me [F]a song
Sing these [G]songs

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][C][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
I prom[C]ised that this wouldn't
happen [Em]to me[G]
Now [C]I'm stockpiling bullets
and vitamin [Em]C[G]
I prom[C]ised that this wouldn't
happen to me
I've got [Em]scales grown [F]over my
[G]eyes and I [E]can't [Am]see
[F]

[Verse 6]
[G]Hope[Am][F]
Say your [G]pray[Am]ers[F]
[G]Sing [C]the[Am]se s[F]ongs[G][F]
Sing my [G]songs
I [C]promised

[Verse 7]
that this wouldn't
happen to [Em]me[G][C][Em][G]
Now [C]I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin C
[Em]I pr[G]omis[C]ed that this
wouldn't happen to me
Take [Em]the scales [F]off my eye[G]s,
I'm trying [E]to see[Am]
